Sweet Stamps- Summer

Summer is the theme at Sweet Stamps for our weekly challenge this week. I got out my Watercolors and tried something new from Technique Junkies- Splattered Ombre Watercolors- it is the TJ 'technique of the week'.

Oh, there is nothing like seeing butterflies in all different colors! I stamped and embossed the image using fine detail EP, then stamped it again and water colored the butterflies- and added a touch of Wink of Stella shimmer : ). The background technique was done according to the tutorial, then I stamped the elegant corner image in the medium size, and after I was done stamping, I spritzed the page with a tad bit of water to soften up the look. After I was done water coloring the image, I took a touch of the blue Peerless Watercolor and mixed it with a bit of water and aded a little touch of an outline all around the image.

Here is a close-up of the dimension and sparkle : )

Please note- Blogger keeps removing the bottom portion of my post with challenges- I will keep adding them back in......

We have weekly and Monthly challenges- if you use a Sweet Stamps image, your entry
counts twice. The winners are chosen by random.org so everyone has a
chance to win! Our Monthly challenge from 6/16-7/14 is Painters
tape.

I love stopping by here for inspiration***

I am an avid amateur photographer and one of my favorite subjects is butterflies. Your card makes me want to grab my camera, find a field of flowers, hunt them down and photograph them until the lens falls out. Wonderful card.
